Micromachined Dielectric Elastomer Actuators with Ion Implanted Electrodes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We summarize recent results on micromachined dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), or artificial muscles, whose compliant electrodes are made by low energy ion-implantation into an elastomer. Out-of-plane displacements in buckling mode of over 25% of the d ...

Efficient video coding in H.264/AVC by using audio-visual information

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jong Seok Lee

This paper proposes an efficient video coding method which utilizes audio-visual information, based on the observation that sound-emitting regions in a video sequence attract observer’s attention. The regions responsible for the sound are identified by an ...

Factoring end-user expectations into the sound design process of computer keyboards

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet

The poor acoustic comfort of usual commercial products is often perceived as annoying. Today, more and more companies have realized that sound can be an important component of product attributes and image. They are interested in having acoustic guidelines ...

Line-of-sight data transmission system based on Mid IR quantum cascade laser - art. no. 68770F

Hubert van den Bergh, Valentin Simeonov

We report on an application of a pulsed distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (QCL) for an open path data transmission. A pulse QCL in the 1046 cm(-1) range (28.7 THz) is used as a carrier signal source. The QCL is modulated with 50 ns pulses at repet ...

Blind Audiovisual Separation based on Redundant Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Rémi Gribonval, Gianluca Monaci, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to perform a complete audiovisual source separation without need of previous information. This method is based on the assumption that sounds are caused by moving structures. Thus, an efficient representation of audio and vi ...

Classification of dog barks: a machine learning approach

Frédéric Kaplan

In this study we analyzed the possible context-specific and individual-specific features of dog barks using a new machine-learning algorithm. A pool containing more than 6,000 barks, which were recorded in six different communicative situations was used as ...

Thanks to geolocalized remote control : the sound will follow

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Mathieu Hopmann

Dematerialized music and MP3 players offer to the user the possibility of carrying his musical content everywhere. However, at home, the music collection is generally not centralized, split between different rooms and audio supports (CDs, MP3s, etc). In th ...

Blind audiovisual source separation using sparse representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to jointly separate active audio and visual structures on a given mixture. Blind Audiovisual Source Separation is achieved exploiting the coherence between a video Signal and a one-microphone audio track. The efficient repr ...
